Recently our partner Lola proposed us a sharing for those "tricks" that favor the cessation of crying babies. It works for me sing a certain song that my girl "knows" since before birth.
We know that about 24 weeks of gestation, the future baby can hear sounds, especially the maternal heartbeat or blood flow. External sounds also arrive, and in a clearer way as the weeks go by.
Undoubtedly, those sounds that reach the uterus from the outside, although scattered, are perceived by the fetus, who may even become familiar with some of them.
But if there is a sound that comes more directly, that is the voice emitted by the mother. After so many weeks listening to that voice, in addition to having been stimulated his brain, at birth the baby will "remember" that timbre and tone, which will confer certain tranquility for feeling close to that cozy intrauterine life.
If what we transmit is also a melody in our moments of relaxation, that feeling of calm is passed on to the little one. "Mr. Don Gato" is the song that has accompanied my baby since before birth, sung several times almost every day, especially after the 30th week of pregnancy.
Now, when I sing it, I may not pay much attention to it at first, but then it looks at me with a certain strangeness, fixedly, and little by little it stops kicking ... Definitely, look for my hands or turn the head looking for some support, and he calms down to the point that he often falls asleep. Chance?
The truth is that I have tried other songs, other people also sing to him and the whispered melody always offers him some calm. There's nothing like listen to a soft hum near to relax…
But I think the champion to reassure Mar is that Mr. Jack sung by his mother. By the way, I have an extended "version", I will show it to you.
